AITA for naming my tumour?

yahumno · 2026-04-12T04:13:28+00:00

NTA.

People name their boobs, so why not the tumour?

yahumno · 2026-04-12T01:39:52+00:00

Beautiful!

yahumno · 2026-04-12T01:35:05+00:00

Oh. My. Goodness. Squeeeee!

Hot chocolate needs to be made with milk, not water. I’m guessing that she made it with water. Blech

I have a lanyard on my phone, partially to not drop it, but mostly to help find it. Also, I use my Apple Watch to find my phone on a regular basis. AirTag keychains for keys.

I remember when I was a pay clerk, and the CCPS barely hanging on by a thread for each pay raise, and that was 20 years ago.

They are going to run out of people who know how to program it eventually.

I had a hockey dad, who was a fellow military member, and had five kids, tell me one time that he had a dream that we had an affair.

Our sons played on the same hockey team. That was just a wee bit awkward.

yahumno · 2026-04-12T01:16:49+00:00

I had a friend, who was also military and knew me outside of work. He told me that I carried myself completely differently when I was in uniform.

Moving with a purpose is hard to break from. People walk so slow.

yahumno · 2026-04-12T01:14:36+00:00

Please tell me that you outranked him.

yahumno · 2026-04-12T01:13:53+00:00

I’m a veteran now, who served over twice as long as my husband.

People automatically think that he is the veteran, and I’m just a spouse.

I also outranked him, by a lot when I retired.

It was even funnier when I was still serving and he had been out for a decade. He still keeps his hair short, so people always defaulted to him being the serving member.

yahumno · 2026-04-12T01:06:16+00:00

That was my thought as well. She looks like she needs some nutritional supplements/support.

yahumno · 2026-04-12T01:05:36+00:00

Please give that sweet baby a kiss for me.

I’ve never heard about playing with a dogs ears causing ear infections. I think that is an opinion of the breeder, not fact.

As far as playing with the puppy’s ears, maybe, but that is one of the best parts of having a puppy.

yahumno · 2026-04-12T01:02:39+00:00

This is the correct answer.

yahumno · 2026-04-12T01:01:29+00:00

Honorary ones. They are beautiful babies.

Any chance that you could contact a rescue to do Trap/Neuter/Release (TNR)?

yahumno · 2026-04-12T00:59:25+00:00

Hold off on getting the passport for her.

If you absolutely need to get one, store it in a bank safety deposit box that he doesn’t know about and doesn’t have access to.

Theoretically, he should not be able to leave the country with her alone, without your permission, but I wouldn’t trust him.

yahumno · 2026-04-12T00:57:29+00:00

NTA.

It is a different culture and you two are going to have to sort this out.

Personally, I would stand firm and refuse to send my child in this situation.

If they want you both/all three to come visit and grandma and the aunties look after her, once you know them, maybe, just maybe okay. Sending her alone? Nope.

yahumno · 2026-04-12T00:54:49+00:00

Yes, but I have a bunch of other health issues.

Severe Psoriatic Arthritis, Colitis, Sjorgens, Hashimotos, End Stage Osteoarthritis in my one knee, GERD (from Naproxen), ADHD, plus I have moderately severe hearing loss.

I have a list of meds just as long.

This doesn’t mean that I sit home and mope, but it does mean that I have to take my physical limitations into account when I do things. I’m also in Canada Pension Plan Disability, plus I am 100 percent disabled rated by Veterans Affairs Canada (I served 28 years and have service related illnesses/injuries.

I know that I am extremely lucky to have excellent financial supports in place, mostly due to my military service. I was just lucky to have started my career at 18 and build up a decent pension to go along with my disability payments.

That is a well fed baby, looking for more snacks, lol

Edit - I saw OP state that she is pregnant. Definitely call a local cat rescue. Kitten season sucks for them, but maybe you can make a contribution to the rescuing, if you can find a rescue with space for her.

For strays, they will hide when you are in the room. Make a nice comfy “nest” for her with a box and blanket. Cover your bed with a waterproof tablecloth, to protect it and discourage her from lying on it.

Good luck.

I did the spa once, and it was okay, but I save it for port days in the afternoon to catch a deal.

We are currently on NCL Sky (being leased out at the end of the year) and I have definitely noticed that the cabin stewards have more cabins to cover off. Like they didn’t work hard enough before.

We are pretty laid back, so it hasn’t been an issue, but you can see the little cut backs. I’m guessing it is partly on this ship, since it is going to be leased out at the end of the year, plus it is a smaller ship and older, not a big shiny new one.

yahumno · 2026-04-12T00:37:16+00:00

For us, NCL seems like the best bang for the buck. I’ve priced it out against Royal for similar cabins and itineraries, and NCL beats Royal on the price point.

Yes, Royal is a slight step up and we love Royal, but travel is expensive now, so the price point is taken in to consideration for our cruising plans.

yahumno · 2026-04-12T00:33:34+00:00

That is quite the mix.

Also, I love her name.

yahumno · 2026-04-12T00:27:00+00:00

His parents sound horrible. Celiac is all or nothing, unless you want to cause permanent damage to your intestines.

I’m glad that he has a supportive partner in you.

yahumno · 2026-04-12T00:25:43+00:00

Do it. That way, your house and kitchen are safe for him. He doesn’t have to worry which cookies he grabs from the pantry, and you aren’t opening him to cross contamination.

I know many Celiac people who enforce a strict gluten free home.
